Instructions:

Check this box if the person you are recording was operating a moped.

Definition:

A speed-limited motor-driven vehicle possessing two wheels in contact with the ground, a seat or saddle for driver/passenger, a steering handle bar, and a brake, with horsepower not exceeding 2 HP, which may be propelled by pedaling. Unlike motorcycles, a moped by definition cannot include an enclosure.

Rationale:

For data analysis purposes it is useful to be able to extract uncommon vehicle configurations, which likely have very different circumstances surrounding the crash.

Example
